Chapter 237: A Favor

“Alright,” Bai Lin readily agreed.
She pulled the card from the table without even looking at Zheng You’s steps to solve the problem. She tore off another piece of paper and started to calculate.
Despite it being a calculation, she did not write down any formulas or steps on the paper. It looked more like she had just written a few numbers and drawn a few mathematical symbols.
At this time, the broadcast sounded, “There are three minutes left before the end of the countdown. If you cannot complete the task, you’ll be punished. The countdown begins now.” The countdown began sounding.
Three minutes?
How could she solve it in just three minutes?
Solving the question would only give her new clues. She still had to figure out how to use the answer to find the clue card.
Bai Lin did not seem to care about the time limit reminder. She picked up a steel ruler from the pen holder and went under the desk. She knocked on a particular piece of tile and used the ruler to pry it open.
Bai Lin took out the clue card, glanced at it, and slapped it on the table in front of Jing Shan.
“Apologize!” Bai Lin enunciated the word clearly, her eyes as sharp as an eagle’s.
The announcement was made timely. “Congratulations for finding the clue card. A new mission will be activated soon.”
Jing Shan clearly did not expect Bai Lin to be able to do it, so he immediately exclaimed that it was impossible.
He pointed at Bai Lin and asked, “You must’ve seen the steps that Youyou’s written halfway! How can you solve it on your own?!”
The more he spoke, the more he felt that Bai Lin definitely could not solve the problem herself. Zheng You had already written more than half of the steps to solve the problem. Bai Lin must have seen it when she tore the draft paper!
“You stole Youyou’s answer. How shameless!” Jing Shan’s expression was one of petty satisfaction, as if he had caught hold of Bai Lin’s weakness.
“What’s wrong? Are you so sure that Xiao Lin’s never been to school? Both of you want to go back on your words after losing the bet?” Li Xuan was quite confident at the moment. He did not dare to let Bai Lin be criticized.
As he spoke, he stood in front of Bai Lin. “Besides, is what Zheng You wrote necessarily right? Xiao Lin doesn’t even bother to copy her answers!”
“Hmph, does the Li Family know that their second young master is a dog for a country b.u.mpkin? You’re very loyal!” Jing Shan spoke without thinking and scolded Li Xuan as well.
As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Lin flashed and appeared behind Jing Shan like a ghost. She grabbed his collar and threw him half a meter away, causing him to fall head first on the ground.
Although Zheng You looked down on Jing Shan for not being able to defeat a woman, Jing Shan was still on her side. If Jing Shan was really beaten by Bai Lin, would that not be a slap to her face?
“Miss Bai, let’s forget about this,” Zheng You said with a smile, “Think of it as doing me a favor.”
Zheng You took a step forward, gently tucked the stray hair behind her ear, and said very generously, “I won’t hold it against you for looking at my steps to solve the problem, so don’t make things difficult for Jingshan. After all, we’re still recording a program. It wouldn’t be good if we cause trouble.”
The Zheng Family was one of the top families in the country’s business world. They had more than a hundred years of foundation in City A and were inextricably linked to the political world.
If she wanted to, she could even hire a hitman to kill Bai Lin and completely erase her existence from this world.
Jing Shan quickly got up from the ground and stood beside Zheng You.
Even though Bai Lin had entered the entertainment industry now, she had no background.
Even if she was the real daughter of the Bai Family, even if she had many fans now, she was nothing compared to the Zheng Family.
In the eyes of the Zheng Family, the Bai Family was like an ant that could be easily trampled to death.
He was even certain that Bai Lin would soon pay a painful price several times or even dozens of times more for being so arrogant today!
In the entire City A, in the entire entertainment industry, Bai Lin was not even qualified to lick Zheng You’s shoes!
“Favor? How much is your favor worth?” Bai Lin’s eyes swept across Zheng You and Jing Shan. “Or are you planning to slap yourself three times for him?” “You b*tch, how dare you speak to Youyou like that? Who do you think you
are…”
Before Jing Shan could finish his sentence, Bai Lin gave him a slap across the face, causing him to swallow the rest of his sentence.
“And who do you think you are? I’m going to beat you up today!” Bai Lin shouted.
As she spoke, Bai Lin gave two more slaps on Jing Shan’s face..
